Chauncey, George.  "Gay at Yale: How things changed." Yale Alumni Magazine, July/August 2009. Re Yale psychiatrist Clements Fry: "Fry realized there were many self-accepting gay students and faculty at Yale, men who, as Fry wrote in 1945, "work through quickly to an acceptance of their homosexuality and of sexual activity" and who "contribute greatly" to society. Unlike McCarthy and the Eisenhower administration officials who tried to purge homosexuals from the federal government in the 1950s, neither Fry nor other Yale administrators tried to purge gays from the university. But they did worry about gays seducing impressionable young men into the homosexual life. As Fry wrote, "Within the university [these homosexual students] acted as a magnet, attracting other homosexuals and exercising an influence over those who were not consciously homosexual or whose sex lives were unorganized . . . . They constituted a threat to others." Accessed March 30, 2016 from https://yalealumnimagazine.com/articles/2482/gay-at-yale?page=1

Mushroom, Merril. "Merril Mushroom . . . arrived in Gainesville in September 1958 to attend the University of Florida. She had already witnessed the Johns Committee's tactics in Miami Beach. There had been raids on gay bars and Merril knew that she would have to keep quiet about her sexuality while she was in Gainesville. Merril often escaped to Tampa for the weekend where she stayed with other lesbians and frequented the bars (photo at right). She lived in the dorms and one day was questioned about some thefts that had occurred. Police suspected Merril because she always seemed to have money to go out of town. Merril told the police officer that she and her "boyfriend" went to Tampa together and stayed with some friends. The police officer continued to question her about her excursions. Finally, Merril admitted the friends were lesbians. The officer wanted her to become an informant for the Johns Committee, telling Merril how sick her friends were and how she could help them. "I wanted to throw up, but I was so relieved he had bought my boyfriend story. I told him I would think about it. At the end of the semester, I got the hell out of there and transferred to the University of Miami. I never explained why." Accessed March 31, 2016 from: http://www.behindcloseddoorsfilm.com/merril.htm

Penelope, Julia: "attended Florida State University in 1959. One day she was called in to see the Dean of Women. The dean knew Julia was a lesbian and told her that she had to see a counselor. The dean then decided it would be best if Julia transferred to the Univeristy of Miami. She could come back to F.S.U. once things had cooled down. Julia transferred to Miami, but was expelled eight weeks after classes began." Accessed March 31, 2016 from: http://www.behindcloseddoorsfilm.com/merril.htm

Wayne State University (WSU) in Detroit installed cameras in the men's bathrooms in State Hall during the 60s/70s designed to frustrate homosexual activity there. News clippings from university and City newspapers, and perhaps some records, may be found in the University Archives housed in the Reuther Library on the WSU Detroit campus.There was also attempted persecution of faculty that was frustrated during WSU President Hilberry's administration I believe. Hilberry himself died of heart failure in a NYC Gay bath house, which was covered up as he was heterosexually married. The University's celebrated Theater is named for him. <Citations to sources needed.> 

Werth, Barry. The Scarlet Professor: Newton Arvin: A Literary Life Shattered by Scandal. Nan A. Talese; 1st edition April 17, 2001. [The police charged Arvin with "being a lewd person" and charged both him and a Smith faculty colleague, Edward Spofford, with "possession of obscene photographs." Police said Arvin led them to Spofford and that both implicated other male faculty members. The only other faculty member caught up in the police sweep was Joel Dorius. Edward "Ned" Spofford (born 1931, died, February 17, 2014) continued teaching literature at Stanford College after his termination as professor from Smith College. Raymond Joel Dorius (January 4, 1919 – February 14, 2006) left the United States after the scandal and worked as a professor at the University of Hamburg, in Germany. In 1964 he returned to the United States and taught as a professor at San Francisco State University. He died of bone marrow cancer at his home in San Francisco, California, in 2006.
